In most US states, the highest temperature ever recorded is above 100 degrees Fahrenheit. However, there are two states where the highest temperature recorded is 100 F on the nose, or in other words, the temperature has never exceeded 100 F.

Hawaii is also the only state to have never had a temperature below 0 Fahrenheit (actually the lowest temp on the list I found was 12 degrees). Which means that in recorded history, it's had only an 88-degree range of temperature!

That's impressive.

If we restrict our attention to just a city rather than a whole state, we might be able to find more examples.

In my home town of Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, the highest temperature ever recorded was 36.0 °C (96.8 °F) and the lowest temperature ever recorded was -16 °C (3.2 °F). So we've never been 0 or 100.

Obviously, if one moves further south, one can find places with much less temperature variation.

I wonder which location in the world holds the record for the smallest variation between hottest ever temperature and coldest ever temperature?
